A lovely muffin from Irma Rombauer's wonderful book, The Joy of Cooking . Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs |
1 cup plain yogurt (not non-fat) |
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar |
4 -6 tablespoons oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line standard muffin tin with paper cups, or grease thoroughly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).
4. Carefully add flour mixture, blending just until moistened. (Resist the urge to over-mix! Batter is not suppose to be smooth).
5. Divide batter among the muffin cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in one of the muffins comes out clean.
6. While the muffins are backing, melt the butter in a small bowl. In a separate small, shallow bowl, combine white sugar and cinnamon.
7. As soon as the muffins are finished baking, dip them one at a time into the melted butter. Roll (if using paper muffin cups: dip) them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then set on a rack to cool.
8. Enjoy!
